Taking rims off during the winter.


Recommended Posts

I do it I put my 20's on my infiniti in the summer and 18's in the winter. Its a double win for me the 20's have terrible grip and suck on snow. the 18s are better and not as expensive if they get messed up...

I say take em off. I live in mass and we get a bunch of snow and even if we only get a dusting like someone else said our roads get sanded and salted heavily. I just take the 22's off first couple of weeks in november, clean them up real nice wrap them In fleece blankets individually and put them down in the basement until I see street sweepers out in the spring.

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

That is going to be key....if you decide to keep them on you really have to be diligent about cleaning them very frequently. Salt will mess the chrome up quick!

You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

Yeah def take them off, mine have been on since early october. the chrome gets pitted if you leave the salt on the wheel for too long, plus grip sucks. oh and not to mention those damn POT HOLES lol have fun bending back an aluminum wheel back or JB Welding that cracked lip :aggressive: just my .02

As long as there is no salt, or little sand you should be ok. Although if it still gets pretty cold and you hit a pothole it could do some major damage.
